@MathGeekDave Did you ever collect toys or anything at all as a kid? Like not having rare Pokemon cards, or certain crazy bones was seen as a bad thing The problems with Fortnite aren't Fortnite specific. Bullying for not having certain popular/expensive ones? Literally any toy craze, and clothing brands too Expensive to maintain an interest in? Literally anything collectable, like Thomas & Friends, Pokemon cards, LEGO, the physical Fortnite toys, toy cars etc By your logic, All toys, clothes and hobbies are bad. Which is basically nearly every single thing a child shows an interest in
@MathGeekDave This comment confuses me Why are you glad your son hates it Like, if he loved it and wanted it surely as a decent parent you'd buy it for him and have no issue because It'd be his passion not yours? As a parent I'm genuinely struggling to see what you're getting at
@Archius9 "Gross, why a game I don't like? Why not a game I like with a matching colour scheme?" Maybe, Archius9, Fortnite is a massive game that could shift units, with millions of players consistently for the last, like, 4 years. Whereas Luigi's Mansion is significantly less popular and far less likely to make a child yell "MUM, LOOK" That's what they need, a "MUM, LOOK" item. And, especially after a year of being released, I can't imagine anyone saying that to a Luigi's Mansion themed Switch.
Why can't they think lmao, I'm expecting it's gonna be mass produced WAY more than any other game, otherwise all they've done is slap together an incomplete and overpriced rom collection, released it in a way that's gonna make a LOT of people miss out OVER CHRISTMAS and make this mess last 6 months Like how are they gonna make it available from April onwards, and when is Galaxy 2 gonna be added
@Tandy255 yeah fair enough, I’ll wait until I actually play this collection of 3 games I’ve played to death over the course of 13-20 years before forming my opinion
@Tandy255 “if it was on 3DS, it’d be the price of a 3DS game” What “The game is the price of games for the console its on” thats not an argument Also an incomplete selection of roms should never under any circumstances be praised
@Tandy255 so remakes are overpriced but a rom collection isn’t That makes no sense, charging full price for three old games in a lazy collection vs a full remake Remakes are definitely not overpriced, like Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver for example, they were worth every penny
@Tandy255 the original all stars had 4 remastered NES games for the price of a single game 3D All Stars has 3 super old games that aren't even remastered
Is this what Nintendo thought we meant by wanting a new Mario Kart game on the Switch A spinoff of a spinoff They must be trying their hardest to take the mick now
Did they forget about Galaxy 2 or Also the ONE time a remaster would be justified and they couldnt be bothered At least we have another Wii U game and a spinoff of a spinoff
Idea Have the complete back catalogue of NES, SNES, GB/C and GBA games Leave the slow rollout to N64, GC and Wii Also have one app for all retro consoles for the love of heck
Just an additional point In 2 years the Wii’s virtual console had about 209 games from 8 consoles in the same amount of time we've had 80 games from 2 consoles A free online service in 2008 was better than a paid one in 2020 Let that sink in
Why do they act like no one remembers Virtual Console Worrying how they’re in such a bad state they need to pretend that this service is in any way decent
@Archius9 and just like the over abundance of movie remakes now, just because it serves a purpose doesn't mean it’s not a quick and easy way of avoiding actually being creative. The thing is, the Switch only gets away with it because theres no backwards compatibility. Also, honestly, punishing Switch owners that had the Wii U just because people couldn’t see how good the Wii U was is rather horrific.
@NightBeast I mean the two bands arent similar at all But also, you can’t deny that Panic are objectively better at singing and playing Also Panic arent any more or less pop than Genesis, which as far as I’ve heard were always just an average level band playing whatever was fashionable at the time
@NightBeast It’s ok musical elitism is something people grow out if when they’re 13 but somehow back inti when they’re 50 No shame in being either a child who knows nothing about music or an old person who knows nothing about this century
The only thing that’ll make up for the silence is if we get the Wii U’s virtual console library (that also remembers what you bought on your Wii U so you can re download for free since for some reason the Wii U couldnt do that with Wii purchases), streaming and internet browser apps, home menu customisation with themes like the 3DS, and new first party games that aren't spinoffs, remakes OR ports.
Also if anyone thinks that that sounds like a lot, ask yourself why the standard from a decade ago is too much to ask now
@RustedHero Just because Genesis are what you grew up with doesnt make them better than Panic! At The Disco or Billie Eilish, it also doesnt mean the modern artists arent music, it also doesnt even mean Genesis were good. Panic! At The Disco wipe the floor with Genesis when it comes down to talent alone
Nintendo is the auntie who just re-wraps the present from last year and MAYBE gives you homer simpson slippers because she once saw you watch the simpsons
Btw the fans are the mums who tell you to say thank you anyway
Content from old games disguised as new content! Yes! I can’t wait until Nintendo can be bothered finishing this game, maybe a year from now itll be worth the retail price
@Ultrasmiles no release has even been given for those games Unreleased 2020 games are only valid if s definite release date for this year has been given Bayonetta, BOTW 2 and Metroid were never even given a 2020 date, in fact Bayonetta and Metroid are still early in development .
Also the fact that you listed a remake and a bunch of games that arent even confirmed for this year to defend 2020 is really quite alarming

Unreleased 2020 games are only valid if s definite release date for this year has been given
Bayonetta, BOTW 2 and Metroid were never even given a 2020 date, in fact Bayonetta and Metroid are still early in development .
Also the fact that you listed a remake and a bunch of games that arent even confirmed for this year to defend 2020 is really quite alarming
